Hello Diahnne, and a very warm welcome to Service Design Sydney.

This site is something a few of us (Zafer, Justin, Katrina, Linda, Joe, Fiona, Katja) talked about first at UX SD 12 and also at the #NewtownCM a few weeks back – a social site created by the service designers of Sydney forthe service designers of Sydney.

Of course there's already a lot going on in Sydney – but we felt an online social context was also possible – and the SD ning site in Melbourne was an inspiration too.

Here you can:

• write blog posts
• add events, photos and videos to the site,
• start topics in the forum,
• invite service designers you know to join,
• comment on just about everything, or
• just keep an eye on what's happening.

This being a social site the more we all do here the more interesting it becomes for everyone.

While there's no editor deciding what gets published there may be just a bit of post facto moderation to keep it clean and on-topic.

I hope you find the site useful and enjoy your time here.

Best wishes,
Adrian

PS There's a regular coffee morning for service designers from 8am Thursdays at 414 Kent St. Come along and say hi.
